Qtudent Life Strange Bell Orients New Farmerland “What is it — a bell, a foghorn, or a sick cow?” The resonance of the novel tone re- leased lost Farmers into the unfamiliar halls in search of their newly-equipped classrooms. The intercom system proved to be a conversational piece producing an often “Attention please” for students. Within each department, individuals were impressed with the many facilities valuable in the development of knowledge and skills. While art classes processed clay figurines with the use of their new kilns, captivating wonders of nature could be viewed through the glass structure of the new greenhouse. Cushioned chairs added to the splendor of the luxurious auditorium. Each department this year had its own separate room for the use of individual work.

Student Life Newly-Equipped Rooms Aid Experience, Skills Enthusiasm in learning — a challenge against common desire carried forth into the halls of Warwick in its first year of use. Encouraging students to participate in ex- tracurricular activities, the faculty fre- quently extended the regular school hours for guidance and sponsoring of clubs and committees. After hours yielded a perfect time for special efforts in teaching stu- dents who did not “catch on” in class. Faith- fully giving up possible leisure to make this year a smashing success, the faculty allowed the student body to gain experience in work- ing together for progressive achievement. Broad understandings between students and teachers functioned in the fulfillment of such events as Homecoming, Farmer Day, and the Senior Prom. As the impact of a newly-built school created mounting problems, the faculty and student body labored together to keep the spirit and tra- dition of Warwick High moving to meet the ordeal of new problems in a new school.
